The
present house was built in the late eighteenth century and added
to just before 1850. Even though there is no definitive history
available, it is clear from old derelict farm buildings that there
has been habitation and farming activity at Craigbrae since the
12th century when the church in the nearby village of Dalmeny
was built.
Until
the Westmacotts bought Craigbrae in 1977, it was owned by the
Stuart Clark family of Dundas Castle whose land surrounds us.
Unlike a lot of other B&B establishments, Louise serves breakfast
from the extra early time of 7 a.m. until 9 a.m. (even this is
fairly flexible) in the family dining room overlooking the garden.
Weather
permitting you may also wish to have breakfast al fresco. She
is famous for her hearty breakfasts, which always include home
made preserves.
